oh there's a Star Wars ad playing on Twitch in my ears and I'm distracted but
it's Lego bb8 Wow you can play as bb-8
you can't even be mad about this like it's awesome I am actually really not
that wow you can't mute it and you can't pause it anymore welcome to Twitch you
can't just say watch this thing glitches out it's funny you can't just say I
H this is ridiculous you can't just say no I actually don't want to watch The
Stream in my own dashboard I actually just want to
monitor chat and make changes to the stream I still can't pause it welcome to
the WAN Show guys we've got a lot of great topics for you today and some
fairly mediocre ones and uh some that
are actually just downright boring but we're going to do our best to spice them
up and uh what are you doing I'm being a
bro you're being a bro yeah I gave him thumbs up gave him another thumbs up
give him both thumbs up gave this hand a high five gave that hand a high
so you're like a self bro yeah self bro bro yourself yeah okay um bro yourself
so Germany's Fusion reactor creates hydrogen Plasma in a world first which
is kind of like you know hydrogen atoms Brewing each other um Microsoft is
testing underwater data centers a world first yeah and Google is going to be
beaming 5G internet from like solar drones and stuff which is a world
hopefully they don't bro themselves because then they fall yeah Brewing
planes is bad plane broe bro you don't
want to do that anyways also Microsoft
Windows 10's really annoying when it tries to like do the thing automatically
not just tries when it succeeds at doing things automatically like bricks your
computer all right let's roll that intro thanks Microsoft
says he's gring
himself oh no it says wow wow so that's
just by the way you're in charge of the uh uh squ me fres and put that up there
and then go back so this guy right here I thought it said your name so this guy
right here is like oh yeah here look at look at the twitch chat look at the twitch chat look at the
twitch chat and the message is just like Luke is one fine specimen of a human man
or something like that I thought it said lus and did I say lonus just now I said
no I thought it said yeah so I'm so and I'm just
like okay why are you showing me this
it's like I yeah I get it you're hot I thought it you don't have to rub it in
my face if you're going to rub your hotness in my face it could at least be
after the show I was was trying I thought that I
was trying to share a compliment from someone else to you I didn't realize
that I was trying to share a compliment from someone else to me with you it's
like I mean what's next are you going to like screenshot it and send an email to
your Mom hey Mom look this random person on the internet likes me look Mom you
made a good
human oh my good so oh that wasn't
awkward at all let's jump right into our first topic from giving TNT on the Forum
original article here is from iflscience.com want to throw us over on
my uh oh wow yeah with you in charge of the links and changing this that's going
to be kind of hard Germany Fusion reactor creates hydrogen Plasma in a
world first now this right here I mean
yeah we did seven Gamers one CPU we're talking $30,000 computer no my friends
that is a $1.1 billion
Fusion reactor but like the the idea you want
to go back oh no I'm just I I realized that we are not here do you remember
which one we are no but I can figure this out while you talk that's not
it that's a fun thing though that's cool
anyways one of the huge yes it costs a lot right now but the idea is that you
can make basically back Limitless clean energy which is like kind of maybe worth
it kind of something we need right now I was talking to Taran about this in the car the other day actually Taran is both
irritating and fun to talk to in the car because he deps what the topic is he
yeah it can be wonderful yeah or it can be just sort of
like why would I why do you care why why
why would anyone care about this tan please For the Love of All that is good
move on thank you um you just like and
I'll do it sure okay I'll go like this yeah or I'll like or I'll like touch
your thigh okay okay um
anyway he was saying that we've used up something along the lines of half of the
world's oil Reserve uh the only reason we have oil is because of there being a
lot of oxygen in the air like 200 million years ago or something ridiculous like that and we had Global
forests which at the time because there was nothing that could break down that
could decompose wood would just fall on top of each other Global firestorms they
would burn then they'd fall on top of each other some more and then in the swamps all this eventually turned into
yay petroleum so what we run out of oil
which we probably won't for a very very very very very long time it's just going
to get a lot more expensive because we're going to have to extract it
difficult to get to it it's like Yay Canadian economy we're going to have to
uh extract it from places like the oil sands where the price has to be higher
in order to make it economical to do it um so we're not going to be able to rely
on it to nearly the same extent that we can now so electricity like sounds well
fine and good it's like yeah I've got an electric vehicle I'm helping the the
environment except that your electric vehicle is probably being charged with
electricity that was produced from burning coal depends where
you live depending on where you live you live in BC no then it's legitimately
actually falling water that's taken care of most of your in fact our our power
company is called BC Hydro Hydro that is
not our water company I don't even know what our water company is called to be
fair it's probably both we're not that big
they might just have one group manage all of it so BC Hydro like it's pretty
much all Hydro power up here but if you if you live somewhere where most of the
poers being provided by coal there's actually it's not like I believe it is
still better to produce the electricity in one place economies of scale etc etc
but it's not like you know yay I'm just using renewable energy sources or
anything like that sorry I'm really not feeling well
this week I'm having sort of a sort of a great week should not be feeling well
yeah my we've got a new employee here who came in and started giving everyone
these crazy like weekly video quotas and stuff like that trying to organize us
like get us on track the weekly video quotas are obscene right now but there's
reasons for that that we can't necessarily yeah yeah that we'll get more into later but um basically we've
just we've been really busy we've had a lot to do and I'm sorry I'm H anyway so
producing electricity there are ways to do it that are green you know solar
looks pretty good wind looks pretty good tidle looks promising hopefully at some
point in the future in a b you 100 years from now or whenever we can figure that
out um but the problem with those things is that I mean wind even if we could
increase the efficiency dramatically beyond what we have today is not even
close to what the energy needs of the world are going to be moving forward
temperamental Reliance solar is still
really not very close it's not economical right now um okay it might
not be super economical but you could actually power a maed amount of stuff if
you set it up all properly and there's a lot of work that would need to go into
that yes so we're we're not I don't mean not close in terms of the efficiency of
the panels that is advancing it just Leaps and Bounds right now but in terms
of the economies of actually rolling it out I mean we all saw that solar
freaking roadways video which turned out to be just completely a pipe dream
nothing to do with reality um you know where they were
claiming that these solar roadways would have the same or better traction
characteristics compared to concrete which like wasn't a thing at all um
there's a lot of other problems there were a lot of hugs of problems with that
whole thing lots of problems um but there's there's there will be a solution
but if not then at the very least Fusion
we're hoping is the answer so what was really cool about what they did here
in the $1.1 billion 19-year project this
is the uh the experimental reactor the wendelstein 7x in Germany what they
managed to do was to initiate the fusion process which requires extremely high
temperatures around 100 million degrees C like actually extremely high
temperatures um and then at these temperatures the atoms of hydrogen
become energetically excited and form a plasma Cloud now to be in order to be
sustained this is great the atoms of
hydrogen that the plasma Cloud cannot touch the cold walls of the reactor so
it requires 425 tons of super conducting
super cooled magnets you wonder where that cost came from that keep it
suspended um and then at high ignition temperatures along with an effect called
Quantum tunneling the hydrogen particles begin to collide and fuse which releases
energy and forms heavy elements now there is a bit of a problem this reactor
was not designed to produce energy it is an experimental reactor it's designed to
recreate the conditions found deep within the Sun but if nothing else any
progress that is being made on fusion power is extraordinarily notable because
it is much cleaner and much more sustainable than fishing which is what
we're using now where you break apart the atoms you end up with all this horrifying Atomic waste sounds like you
you like kind of Drew the word fishing a little bit did I cuz you said I don't
know you I might have heard you wrong but I thought you said fishing I have a cold yeah I know but it sounds like it's
much more effective than fishing than fishing it's just not bringing us that
much energy yeah I was burning those fish all
night and all I got was dinner and it weren't very good cuz I
burned it oh Dam um
so I've got people saying burning coal is burning coil is still better um
burning coil are we talking like coilers
coilers is that the conversation we're having right now cuz I'm actually not
I'm legitimately not sure all right this is really cool
Microsoft testing underwater data centers want to fire me over to over to
my screen here soor this is called project natic ntic I don't know how it's
pronounced anyway it came from a research paper that was written in 2014
by several Microsoft data center employees and if we head over to to the
uh here we go so here's a really here's a really cool look at the Prototype I'm
actually going to drop back over to the dock and fire up the actual site Here
and Now what I originally envisioned when I read about this when I heard okay
underwater data centers I thought more along the lines of a traditional data
center so where you've got like a
building and then you've got towers and stuff yeah and then you've got like
cabinets upon cabinets I thought they were going to dunk things that look like
shipping containers I was wrong so we were both
wrong we're were both wrong so the objective here is to eliminate
the costs associated with air well with
cooling with cooling a data center which is
enormous like freaking enormous um so
what I had kind of thought in in my brain because I'm not a Microsoft
engineer obviously was they were going to build these underwater you know like
bubble Dome things I didn't really think it would necessarily be a dome but domes
are you know structurally sound reason for it to not be a dome anyway so they
would fill it with cabinets and racks and and servers and then what I was kind
of thinking was okay so where they would
normally water cool a server and then have that go to an air conditioner or
have that um heat exhaust into the atmosphere they would water cool the
servers pretty much exactly the same way obviously um they would water cool the
server exactly the same way and then I wasn't sure whether they would use salt water for
the actual Cooling and then they'd have to develop like cooling systems that are
resistant to corrosion obviously um or
if what they would do was they would would they would just take like a
gigantic essentially like a gigantic heat sink and put it next to the data
center and then run their freshwater cooling through that in order to cool it
in the ocean again also wrong I was going more that direction I thought they
were going to use basic like not an actual shipping container but shipping
container size kind of thing and the as
a giant heat that always okay so we're
both wrong that's a crab is um so let's have a look at what it actually looks
like so here it is next to a person for scale on a boat here and the way that
they're actually planning to do it is the data center would be quite spread
out so you would have a whack ton of these things deployed all over the place
and then they would be tethered together by it sounds like Steel cables and fiber
optic links so the actual cooling of the
unit looks like it's being handled here
but I don't necessarily have all the full details how it works or anything
like that yeah and where like my idea was if you had to do some maintenance on
the thing you would I don't know take a submersible down there and work on it or
something or like obviously kind of stupid because that's that's really hard
whereas with these without taking everything offline you would just pull
the unit up and work on it now with that said they don't plan to work on them
very often the objective would be to have each of these capsules good for a
lifetime of about 20 years and then the
plan would be to bring them up about every five years to replace the hardware
similarly to what they would do in the data center now where the yeah because
they don't necessarily just cycle out Hardware at a data center when it breaks
they cycle out Hardware at a data center when they get new stuff to not only stay
ahead of the curve but also to avoid problems like Hardware being old and
just breaking because it's old yeah because the cost of having you know a
$100 an hour um you know server like
like a data center administrator running around swapping out RAM
modules it's super not worth it they even have tools this is one cool thing
for like supercomputers and stuff where they swap out the CPUs from time to time
they have tools that mass swap CPUs that's cool they have like Grabbers
that can take like six at a time and like swap them in and swap them out and stuff like it's crazy yeah anyways sorry
random little tidbit moving on um so yeah so there's some there's a
lot of advantages here so there's the cooling Advantage there's the advantage
of being able to get the data center and
like I I feel like calling it a data center is sort of a misnomer they need a
new term for it cuz it's not it's it's more like a data like Link Center or
something link it's doesn't work though yeah because it's kind of spread out I
don't know what they want to call it because well and remember too though data array link we are thinking very
short term Microsoft is thinking 20 years 20 years from
now that could be a data center yeah but
would you I don't think you'd call it Center because like centered
literally like I don't know I guess cuz like the way I'm thinking about it is in
order to replace sort of the traditional data center they would need like
hundreds or thousands of those like spread out and and linked together
whereas I mean maybe and and so here's one of the things they're talking about
one advantage would be the proximity to the users so instead of me linking to a
data center in California somewhere up here in British Columbia they would have
one of these just right off the coast yeah where you don't have to deal with
all the you know right of way for running uh connections you don't have to
deal with um the the real estate
involved in in in building something like that um so so the actual link speed
would could potentially be better um so
I don't know like would would you call it a center if it was serving like the
entirety of BC and Alberta or something I would not call it a center you still
wouldn't call it a center because it's not a centrally located thing
M so you're thinking of Center in sort of the literal sense yeah so it should
be like we're talking spokes yeah it has to be at the center of a lot of spokes
otherwise you lose yeah interesting okay I don't know if that's I I think that's
what it's kind of referencing but I'm not entirely sure let's see what the twitch chat has to say about my theory
this is another advantage to it too is that combined with some other
Technologies like here's an idea to uh
pool cluster get it I love that good job
who in twitch chat said that let me find him uh so here's another idea that they
could use like1 something whatever they're talking
about these like um like these
containers that they could suspend beneath the surface of the ocean and they could combine these with like a
turbine or a tidal system in order to actually power the things as well or at
least help power them so it could help with power it could help with proximity
to data and it could help with cooling with I guess the one major disadvantage
being that if anything goes wrong with it it is under the freaking
ocean but uh you know I don't know hopefully they thought of that so they
figure if they Mass produ the capsules they have yeah they probably have ways
for like pass through so if one goes down they can just skip it temporarily
and then fix it later on I mean Microsoft's not exactly new to the whole
data game so hopefully they've got it figured out so while Microsoft is headed
under the ocean Google has its site set on the sky so this was posted by do sjr
on the Forum the original article here is from n Gadget and it says Google
plans to beam 5G internet from solar
drones which I read the headline and I was like sorry what solar drones like
drones on the sun oh what do you mean is
what do you mean solar Dr solar powered drones yeah solar power drones so the
picture made it pretty pretty clear uh yeah there we go so these drones would
be I believe it's what is it like optionally optionally
piloted uh yeah yeah so you could be you could
control it remotely or it could just fly
around on its own they've actually got permission to test them up until is July
July or something like that I will find it in a moment So the plan is for these
to be perpetually powered by the sun hence the entire top of the wing and I'm
going to call this elevator but I know the elevator is actually just the little
flap that goes on the back of it so you'll have to forgive me as as well as
the rudder here entirety of it is covered in solar solar panels and then
what it would do is it would actually act as sort of um a replacement for the
traditional cell phone tower uh can you go ahead and switch
back so the issue with cell phones right
now with with faster data speeds and
with um adding more customers to the network is that the spectrum that is
traditionally used is pretty darn chalk full I mean we even
had an incident this week last week last week last week last week no this week uh
well we fixed it this week oh whatever
we had an incident about a week ago where Rogers one of the local cell phone
providers came to our office and they were like yo you guys need to turn off
your cell phone booster and we were like what it's like it's it's good in Canada
like we we checked we made sure and they're like well you guys have got a
problem where you are causing some kind of attenuation nonsense our anten our
our antenna inside was too close to our antenna outside the building and they
were basically blasting like kind of screeching on part of rogers's band and
so our our provider we're almost all on Bell here in the building never said
anything to us about it because it's not their fre spectrum they don't care but
um but the guy from Rogers was like yeah you guys are going to have to turn that off until you can get the thing fixed
it's not just like them trying to protect their band like that could make it so that Roger's customers wouldn't be
able to like call emergency services and stuff so I mean we totally didn't
realize um and they're like yeah you know that's that's how it is most of the
time people don't realize so um you know
yeah hey just turn it off for now get it fixed and then let us know when you turn
it back on so we can check and see if we have any issues and I was talking to the
guy and he was telling me like yeah this is this is a like a huge problem for
them and um so this this is this is a story he told me apparently a a news van
um like a local news van was shooting a story down in the West End of Vancouver
and they were still using just like some
some audio packs some audio equipment that was utilizing spectrum that had
since been purchased by Rogers and and when when these things happen there's
like a phase out period like you've got 3 years to you know for this industry to
stop you using it and then you've got another 2 years like grace period and
then it's illegal um and Rogers paid something like I don't know $4 billion
or something stupid like that for for the Spectrum so that they could so that
they could provide better coverage for their customers anyway um so he's like yeah I went out
to investigate this thing turns out it was this news van and they knocked out
the cellular service for pretty much that entire area oh my God yeah just by
by broadcasting their their news broadcast on that Spectrum okay
theoretically what can he even do about that though because that's a consumer
using a product that they bought uh no that is a
news like that is a news publication
like a like a professional publication that would have been that is subject to
the law for one thing so the law of not interfering with nonp just write a law
and then make it so that people can't have to buy new things like that seems
really shortsighted yeah oh yeah you can oh yeah happens all the time in fact um
our our two Sennheiser ew10 G3 packs one
of them is going to go obsolete uh in a while then and they are
not interoperable because uh the regulations were changed and so
Sennheiser had to revise the skew that they were selling in Canada that is
super annoying totally a thing definitely
yeah so anyway that's but but I mean
this underlines my point some people just did some face py thing I know like
guns and whatnot but it seems weird for consumer Electronics to be able to be
ripped from people's hands mhm but that is that is the way it is and this
underlines my point where what I'm trying to say is that's how crowded the
available radio spectrum is that we're
fighting tooth and nail paying billions of dollars for access to use tiny tiny
slivers of it and ripping the electronics out of people's hands
telling them they have to buy new ones because it is now illegal to use them like that's how crazy it is so coming
back to the solar drones and the 5G internet the plan is to use millimeter
wave so it is believed that millimeter
waves are capable of transmitting data 40 times faster than LTE with the issue
being that millimeter waves have pretty much zero penetration power and very
limited range so millimeter wave is the same
stuff that they use to scan you at the airport just so you guys know so like it
can barely penetrate like I think it's how much of your skin does it manage to
not very much like like not very much so so you think about okay yeah what if my
cell phone ran on millimeter wave all of a sudden let's say the tower is on the
other side of Luke and I go and I lean forward boom my call dropped oops I mean
obviously just like we've had in the past we're going to have fallbacks to 4G
3G I mean hell I think even Ed shows up every once in a while it does somehow um
like they're still out there but you you
OB like you don't want your high spe data going on and off every time you
like lean toward someone so that's why taking the stuff off the towers and
putting it way up in the air above the consumer could help um could help with
the growing demands for data in the
future so I guess that's pretty much all I have to say about that it's really
cool seems like a cool idea I mean I love the idea of solar uh solar aircraft
it's becoming more and more a thing it sketches me out like I mean the first
time one of these crashes and like hits somebody oh a drone yeah it's going to
be like such a scandalized I don't think has anyone actually just been Smoked by
a random like flya away drone yet I know
the kid got his eye injured by but like he was like watching his uncle fly it
like he was like right there he was involved in the action whereas has
anyone had a drone like just kind of take off like you know you get flyaways
sometimes and like hit someone's grandma yet I'm sure twitch chat is going to is
going to tell me there was that Olympian the skier or whatever do you hear about
that it didn't hit him I don't think it but it landed like right behind him it was one of those big industrial
ones I did hear about that I never saw the video though I don't I don't think
it hit him though so I don't think that counts it landed behind him I
believe someone kill himself with his own drone that's not yeah not quite what
I'm talking about I'm talking about like whether it's like an Amazon delivery
drone or some other kind of commercial drone or like some random drone like
someone where they had no involvement in the Drone experience other than to be
hit by it completely out of nowhere um
yeah I mean the first time it happens it's going to be it's going to be a huge deal um I really hope that it's not you
know one of the 5G internet solar drones
but it's going to raise a lot more eyebrows about projects like this you
know well my my uncle Johnny was killed by a drone and so we shouldn't fly
drones and there's something to be said for that we shouldn't fly drones that
aren't safe like I don't know you know looking at the picture of that thing I
don't know what safety mechanisms it contains
um doesn't look like a whole lot but that pict would Glide but that picture's
a render so looks like it would Glide as long as it has a parachute that would
deploy if you CU I mean Glide is great
in theory until it goes really fast until it collides with something else in
the air and it knocks a wing off um that too I mean the thing could be made of
foam for all I know parachuting not a guarantee and
something can still run into it yep so I don't know
man I don't know man speaking of I don't
know man if you were thinking to yourself gee oh my I don't know how to
upgrade to Windows 10 that's fine
Microsoft has got you covered you don't need to know you don't need to know at all
original article here is from howto
Geek and I think we should open this segment with my story with you telling
your story that you told me before the show about what happened to you this
week okay the one with that that um that
dog that walk came into your house what
like took a crap on your bed no okay so was a dog maybe not so
much um I was here a little bit late last night working uh that's a little
bit irrelevant but basically I wasn't at home and my computer decides to upgrade
to Windows 10 and uh my girlfriend is at
my place and she's like um um your
computer's doing stuff and she's like I didn't touch it cuz she's like worried
that I'm going to blame her it's fine I mean hey girlfriend blaming when
something goes wrong with the computer that is a thing it's a thing so she's
like okay like I wasn't touching it I was I was away somewhere else doing
whatever I just saw it's it's now trying to boot up but not working she says it
keeps restarting and it's trying to turn on and it keeps failing and restarting
and I'm like uh cuz you just roll back to Windows 7
better VR compatibility luckily I don't need it anymore cuz that Alpha thing or
beta whatever is gone so it's fine um but yeah it tried to upgrade to Windows
10 all on its little Lonesome good old little independent computer trying to do
its own stuff and it failed and it bricked my Windows OS so I was able to
very easily recover files cuz I have an external Bay thing sitting right there
so it's like okay SSD Shunk take whatever I needed off of it which wasn't
much cuz I don't save much on there put it back in reformat at now I'm
officially running on Windows 10 cuz I didn't Breck
it thanks Microsoft I tweeted out about that and Timmy was like no
problem I was like I understand that's not your department I'm sorry yeah yeah
so that was uh that was rough thanks for yeah so there's a lot of problems here
temporarily there's actually like super duper a lot of problems here I mean
number number one is calling an an
operating system change a recommended
update is not really and pushing it
automatically I mean for the techsavvy people like someone like Luke where
learning how to use Windows 10 is is not going to be much of a challenge it was
fine and like recovering my files and reforming my computer in a grand total
of like a couple hours wasn't really a big deal but like Grandma who like
barely knows how to use her computer as it is Geek Squad is going to make a lot
of money yeah Geek Squad is going to be happy about this one I'll tell you that
much that is a very good point yeah so problem number two with doing a a a
system upgrade in this way is that if
you manage to get into the operating system and are able to access the roll
back feature I believe the roll back feature does still exist I could not
recover however there's a reason that
any update firmware update for a mouse
or uh or or a driver update for whatever
or a software update will always say
okay make sure that there's not going to be a sudden power loss in the middle of
this process um you know hey make sure that you back up any important Data
before we do this I mean I have seen some updates that have super nothing to
do with my data recommend backing up my
data before I proceed because that's just that's just common sense that's
covering your butt as a software maker to say hey back up your data we're not
responsible for any data loss that may occur during this process for Microsoft
to completely forgo that due diligence and potentially
cause people to spend money at Geek Squad
or lose data something that is so
difficult to attach a value to one quick second effective monkey in the chat said
your GF probably tried turning off the computer in the middle no she didn't
just putting that out there I've seen the Windows 10 upgrade fail I have
literally sat and watched it fail so it can happen I knew it wouldn't have
worked because I had tried it already and was like okay there's something
wrong with my system it's not working for Windows 10 whatever I just won't upgrade that's fine um and I had to do
this like crazy recovery process I tried doing doing it again this time and it
didn't work uh it wasn't her fault she didn't do anything wrong sorry continue
so I mean I think Microsoft is opening the elves up to a very significant class
action here you know anyone who lost you
know precious photos of their cat or
whatever babies or babies that's going to be the first big one that comes out I
lost photos of my uh deceased family
member or like babies or graduation stuff like some form of super important
can't do it again will happen and then that will be very bad and and like you
know yeah wow and this just seems crazy to me and you
know what's even crazier is like they did this by accident before and then
rolled it back this time purpose it's on purpose and they are apparently even
doing Windows 10 upgrade notifications on business PCS now which is like I mean
there's so much more to a business infrastructure than just Windows and and
office like there's a lot of stuff that
straight up has quirks and compatibility issues going from one version of Windows
to another even though look at like Premier and stuff 7 to 8 to 8.1 to 10
has been relatively seamless you know when you compare it to XP to Vista for
example um there are still issues like we've had premere issues that was a
great example where the new Premiere update was what was it bricked on 8.1
but not on seven my Oculus something
like that yeah yeah what was the issue with the Oculus it just I just that some
people were able to get it work with like certain USB it was USB drivers or
something certain USB drivers for certain types of USB 3.0 or 2.0 ports in
combination with whatever might work on certain Windows 10 machines or you can
go to Windows 7 and it's fine we got a lot of people talking
about their Windows 10 upgrade experiences so spoko in the in the chat
says Windows 10 upgrade failed with no clear error until I set my boot order to
boot directly from the Windows SSD instead of grub on another SSD by
complete trial and error and this is the kind of stuff that again like we're
saying is no big deal for the techsavvy
you know Linux users out
there but for Grandma oh man Grandma
probably won't have grub installed but like the point Remains the point remains
when I first got the Razer Blade 14 my
the first unit that I got um I like set everything up created my
user account and I was like oh I wonder if I can get the Windows 10 on here woo
there it is Boom did it failed I had to factory restore and I
had to try it again and it worked there you go yeah like my fully updated
Windows 7 that I had been using that was the one that failed the update and
basically bricked its own operating system when I reinstalled Windows with
one of my oldest Windows 7 isos because it had to fit on a 4 gig USB um with
like no updates I manually went to the Microsoft get Windows 10 website did it
immediately off the bat and it worked perfectly this is great someone says um
Microsoft flight simulator 10 does not work on Windows 10 cently I think I have
actually heard that I don't remember what the issue was
related to but U but there you go that's a perfect example it's Microsoft's own
software I mean I know it's old oh yeah but the point is like you know if I've
got you know my my flight Sim rig in a in a closet somewhere you know with the
everything kind of tucked out of the way I really don't want it to just automatically update itself and I and I
don't touch it for two weeks or two months let's say you know maybe don't
use it all the time and you come back and what yeah so what now I have to roll
back if that works and or reformat or like are you freaking kidding
me all right what else we got here it's funny too because like a couple days
before last night when this all happened I was like I should probably look into
like downloading some tool that blocks the I wasn't even thinking he was going
to do it automatically but the little Annoying popup that's like you should get Windows 10 I was like I should just
you know get some tool that blocks that from happening cuz that's a little Annoying and like I might as well do
that so I was like yeah maybe this weekend I'll spend some time and like
make sure I can block Windows 10 updates and then it's just like boom wrecked
okay maybe you saw that coming it's like it was already annoying it was already like move please move please move please
move please and then it's like just go go can you be slightly less
pushy Windows um actually there's one
more there's one more funny thing um
apparently and I haven't actually seen the original statement here so this is
this is from my notes in the doc so you have to forgive me apparently
Microsoft's response in a blog post says
that if you are on a metered connection on Windows 7 or 8.1 and you don't want
this download to occur then you can just turn off automatic updates just like uh
what so I'm just supposed to not get security patches because I don't want
upgrade my operating system like I get it you guys are trying
to Super hardcore aggressively EOL
Windows 10 or Windows 7 and Windows 8 and 8.1 like you don't want to create
another XP situation where they I think
I believe they still have active contracts with what was it the US Navy
or something yeah to support Windows XP because like ships run on it but so I
get it you're trying to EOL those operating systems you're trying to get everyone onto Windows 10 but you have to
understand that even as Windows 10 evolves you know maybe in the same way
that OS 10 has was that a coincidence I wonder um where where it gets all these
different cats or mountains or whatever um you are still going to have to
support this stuff because even these small incremental updates are going to
break compatibility I mean there's all sorts of stuff that works in you know
Bengal but doesn't work in house cab all
that all that Microsoft checks for is driver stuff they don't check for
software stuff and there it's so much deeper than that I mean it really is I
mean I will give them Kudos Windows update does a way better
job of drivers than it used to on Windows 10 it's like actually really
good like even like those weird ulx 10 gig Nicks you boot into the operating
system boom drivers installed for it no big deal the setup time on Windows 10 is
very fast yeah so I will give them that
but they are still nowhere
on application compatibility they basically haven't touched it and I get
it like there are there are more that's
crazy Windows applications then you could count if you started counting
today 1 2 3 four five six like you
couldn't count that high sorry not in your lifetime um so I get it but it
means you can't do stuff like this yes
it's you don't have an App Store where
developers are required to maintain
their own database of compatibility in a way that the store understands and can
interpret for the user like like the setup time is fast
like uh last night when it screwed up I was like well I have to reset up
everything for stream tomorrow um and
like it's basically there now so I got
home at like 9 and I was able to do that a reasonable time before I went to bed
that's pretty good but I definitely
should not have had to do that all right all right let's get into our next thing
that no one should have had to do this was posted by oh uh right
um uh okay no one should have had to look at an ugly website
Squarespace so if you're not familiar with Squarespace at all may I suggest
that you go back and watch some of our awesome coverage of CES yeah hey there
was a lot of cool stuff at the show this year there was and all of it was brought
to you by Squarespace so at the end of literally
every single one of those those videos there's a whole rundown of like how it
works yep I I got to the point where like throughout the day I would try to
cover all the points but each video didn't necessarily contain every point
but we'll run through all the points of why Squarespace is awesome now first up
they worked with Jeff Bridges second up it's not wrong they
had a Super Bowl commercial also not wrong third their logo is really cool
it's like it's like an s and it's like
kind of squiggly I think it's a great logo fourth they're Bros yeah good
people over there we like Squarespace five I guess the thing that they
actually do so Squarespace allows you to build your own beautiful website using
one of their great templates that has all kinds of features so whether you
want to use their logo designer to create a cool logo or you want to uh
create a store where people can buy like
knickknacks that you make or or whatever else so you want to create a tools to
avoid updating Windows 10 yeah yeah say for example you created a website about
that boom you could do it on Squarespace and their PL start at just $8 a month
all the management of your site is through the cloud you don't have to like
create a web server and run that in your closet or any of that complicated
nonsense and it is what was I going to
say right it's scalable and you get a free domain if you sign up for an entire
year so if all that sounds pretty good and you've been thinking to yourself gee
I could use an affordable way to run my own website even if it's just for like I
don't know the minor league soccer team that you run you just want like a cool
little website where you have some pictures you can recruit some new people to join the team whatever kind of site
you want to make Squarespace makes it easy and if you want to check it out all
you got to do is go to squarespace.com and use offer code Linus and you can save 10% on building your beautiful
website today they've got a twoe free trial by the way so you don't have to
commit right up front no credit card required no credit card required on the
two we free trial speaking of no credit card required have you ever been a small
business owner and had someone come to you and be like yeah you know I would
have Lov to pay that bill but I never saw it or uh Hey do you accept credit
card and you're all like no I don't
freshbooks is the accounting solution for you also cloud-based but in a very
different sort of way so you can use your phone to do things like track how
many hours you're spending on a project you can track the expenses yeah you can
just take pictures of your receipts and it handles everything else handles all
that stuff uh you can generate invoices you can generate invoices you can send
them to the client you can see that the client has R it you can receive deposits
you can receive deposits and final payments through the app but or I
shouldn't call an app but through the service Buy credit card and if you ever
have any questions and you want to talk to their support you call them and you
will speak to a real human no phone tree
no escalating to a level two technician
or anything like that no you know enter your number and record a brief
message hi is this line is Sebastian if
it is press one if it isn't please hold

just got a Mobile card reader so you can even take credit card payments when you

more likely scenario would be a locksmith for example I mean there's so many small
businesses and they can benefit from fresh books if you want to spend more
time running your business and less time screwing around with accounting nonsense
especially if you are not a numbers person so we've actually got something
else we can move on to today that is different from what we normally do this
is our build of the what is it moment
moment we just call it moment because like week died super hard and then month
like it became like half year basically
so uh I guess it's moment now that was a
probably Whaler so we got a featured build for you guys do you want to drop us out of the out of the frame there
let's go ahead so um the voters pick and
this one was made project ravage by clown face 1511 so let's go ahead and
walk through I haven't actually looked at this yet but it has some ba specs
what's up I didn't want to delete it oh so you just put yourself well that's as
far out as the frame I can f you you us no no no I don't want to do it anymore
you're in the corner I don't want you're I don't want to do it anymore I'm not
doing it I'm just going to control the slideshow you do it okay but you you have to stay the person on screen there
you go there's an Intel Core i7 5960x and a Seuss x99 Deluxe 3.1 2 GB
reference 980 TI an EVGA Supernova P2
1200 W power supply uh 16 gigs of gskill
rip Jaws memory okay no more of that um
apparently it is a awesome looking desk computer look at that water cooling arrangement in the top holy smokes I
love super clean runs DIY like crazy like look at this that's
pretty sick I'm loving the way this is set up like you got no interference from
the legs it's got really good support right here it looks it looks so strong
it looks really strong but not in like it doesn't look like shop Furniture no
no no no no it looks like like the you know the modern like industrial design
style furniture stuff yeah yeah I like it damn no to a fans I was just going to
say lius is going to like the fans too whoa that is some intricate Hardline
work right there that is not easy what
is going on right there that looks
really clean that is gorgeous opt yeah
yeah fan freaking tastic wow oh and look
at that desk surface oh I like how it only actually Peaks through in that one
part that actually looks really cool that is absolutely sick I love how
monstrous that computer is love the finished desk shot here that monitor and
the and the trophies the trophies the boxes from the hardware power supply and
motherboard boxes very very nice wow
gorgeous machine all right let's move on to our second one so this that was the
Community Choice and this one is the staff Choice from the LT Forum staff
this prey.com thing has gotten a lot better since the first time we tried to
use it cuz that was a disaster yep all right so this
is by Stefan 1024 the silent Cube so a
little bit more down to earth Hardware but still really really good yeah just
wait till you see it wow I'm loving that copper block is
that is that is that homemade pretty sure wow I haven't actually read the
build log so sorry I'm not entirely sure that that looks it looks very custom to
me and like do you see there's the the cube so wait go go yeah you can see it
there it's open a bit okay forward oh
gosh darn it okay here we go there you
go wow damn heat sinks
though look at that
so that's actually it's kind of funny that that came that's how I thought the
Microsoft underwater servers were going to work just having the walls be giant
heat SN fins yeah that's interesting but
nope very interesting look how big it is
I love it the oh look at that thermal thermal camera shot even this is a
serious machine here man yeah that's actually super cool that is
fantastic I mean the lengths that some people will go to to silence their
computers although I believe that my
project while not as cool as this one no
that's pretty amazing is actually a little bit crazier if not on the same
level where I go as far as to remove the computer from the room oh just like like
I I don't mean crazy like in terms of the skill involved or anything I mean
crazy in terms of like how mental I must
be to care that much about about a
little bit of computer hum where I'm going to be like nope nope the computer
may not be in the same room as me anymore yeah it it will it must be
removed it will no longer be in the room with me I maintain that there's there's
acceptable amounts of computer home nope
that's okay that you think that's
fine I'm glad you approved thank you but
I just like it's I just don't mind and it has to be like a certain tone like if
I can hear the airf flow that's fine if I can literally hear the fan that's
maybe not good rattle is the worst yes yeah I don't like rattle but if it's
like it's probably fine all right let's
get a let's get a straw let's get a straw pull up computer
noise does it matter yes no turn up okay
well that's not as simple as it cuz I don't like computer noise in
general a little like acceptable ah but
acceptable Mount is into let's say somewhat somewhat yeah okay so somewhat
for like if you can hear the air flowing stuff but there's no Rattle and whatnot
yeah okay so there we go guys we want to we want to hear from you guys let's hit
that straw pole all right let's see these results do you want to screen
share me and do you want to uh fire up our next topic while we uh while these
results come in we could do one of our rapid fires or
something like oh no let's do the dad the dad so this is bananas this was
posted by aluminum Tech on the Forum about a dad who spent a night in jail
after confiscating his daughter's iPhone now to be
clear the headline is somewhat
sensationalist there is more to this the
dad was not put in jail
for confiscating his daughter's iPhone
for an hour that he gave her it is a
little more complicated than that so the iPhone was actually provided by his by
the daughter's mother his ex-wife and he
took it and kept it for a long period of time so it was
actually the ex-wife is arguing her
property and that him taking it was T
amount to stealing so this is a whole other level
of family crazy yeah that I'm glad that I don't have to be involved in yeah so
it looks like pretty much everyone agrees with you and pretty much no one agrees with me so I'm pretty much done
with that straw pull um no there's a fair amount of people that agree with
you uh hold on let's uh so hold on I want to bring this up so the original
article here that we um that was posted on the Forum was from Mashable so
there's a picture of a phone there's other than that it's a whole lot of text
you want to fire us back to uh back to full screen there we go if I had a midi
controller this would be sick so basically he confiscated his daughter's
cell phone as a punish M for sending quote unquote inappropriate text back in
2013 he was found guilt not guilty on Tuesday by the way so so this is this is
this is why we're hearing about it now was that the the Judgment just came
through um and is going to file a
complaint for civil rights violation because his take on the whole thing is
that it was I don't remember what word he used but basically it was
ridiculous and he he said his 12-year-old daughter was trying to
organize an attack on another minor so he confiscated the phone and I can think
of a hundred reasons like I've got kids I can think of a hundred reasons why I
would confiscate their phone yeah and to
not be allowed to do that as a parental
discipline measure even if the phone was provided
and the bill was paid or whatever by or even if the phone was provided by
whoever by whoever it was too bad yeah you're a minor you're
12 a phone is a privilege when you're 12
and if you're using it for something that is deemed inappropriate as a parent
you don't get to have that anymore too freaking bad a phone is not an inali
right it's not food it's not shelter it's not water it's not
sleep um so anyway a few hours he didn't
sell it he didn't do anything with it he just yeah so a few hours after he
grabbed the phone the police showed up so the mother who owned the phone said you can't take someone's property
regardless if you're a parent or not so I can already tell exactly what she
sounded like when she was saying that like I can picture that idiot in my head
right now U with that said you know we don't know what his history with her is
and we don't know you know why she would have taken that particular stance I'm
not judging anyone here I'm just saying I can imagine what that person Probably
sounds like the father turned down a
plea deal which would have involved turning over the phone and spent one
night in jail because he refused to give it back so that's a fun relationship says
that the dispute has rendered any future relationship with his daughter and her
mother impossible holy
crap people are mad people are fre it's not just in
twitch chat people are
mad I mean here's a really crazy thing when he refused to take the deal um the
Dallas County District Attorney's Office UPS the charges to Class B misdemeanor
which in Texas could be a $2,000 fine
and up to 6 months in jail oh my God I
mean you have got to be freaking kidding me here you can change it if you don't
take a plea that seems kind of I'm not actually
sure I mean what we need John's help
what yeah we need Jon's help like what charge you are trying to apply to
someone I mean when it's a crime that is so
difficult to classify taking a phone as a parent
temporarily but that isn't yours because it belongs to the other parent who you
are no longer sharing finances with like but okay even if it was the
kids as a parent wouldn't you be allowed to take
it oh wow hold on a second like if the
kid Works wow hold on yeah okay okay we we need to do straw pull straw pull here
let me let me create the STW we just get John would just then we then we'll
discuss okay sure you need to make a new
that's view okay so 12 year old's phone
could a 12-year-old have a okay inappropriate use like let's say they
were using it to organ let's say that what he said is true they are clearly
using it to organize an attack on another minor or something so there is a
there is a safety reason yeah okay so
12-year-old's phone inap rate use okay for parent to
confiscate if it is their property yes
no wow this is
complicated wow this is complicated I would probably vote for that one I still
think yeah I don't know because I think
we can agree that unless there is okay H so
organize an attack like let's say there okay let's call it bullying let's say
that you know it's something where it's clearly wrong but there isn't
necessarily a law in place like there is
hey we're well I mean okay is there a law in place that you can't pie someone
at school that's assault is it assault yeah okay let's let's come up with
something let's come up with something that's mean but not illegal you can call someone
names or is that verbal assault I mean is there a charge threatening cuz
threatening there's a charge for I think well I don't know if you call someone
Dumbo ears or something like it's not a threat you're not
threatening to take their ears yeah so
let's say let's say they're just let's say they're just coordinating being mean
okay mean in some way that is we're not going to try and figure out what's legal
some way that's legal yeah mean in some way that's legal okay slander [ __ ]
there's a law against like everything yeah I know so don't worry about it it's mean
in some way that is legal but the 12-year-old owns the phone
okay so I think we can all agree that if you're an adult and you're talking about
like pulling a prank on your friends or being mean to them or something unless
you're doing something illegal no one has the right to take your stuff from
you that would be theft unless the police with a
warrant can take it from you cuz this is this is interesting too but or probable
probable cause or whatever cannot teachers can hold things can't they
because we're talking about minors yeah so then wouldn't your parents be
able to almost no matter what it is right because the teacher can the
teacher can take it but then that's created issues as well yeah because the
asthma inhaler or whatever yeah teachers confiscating things logical and then the
phone because of emergencies has been has been an issue but the idea that
they're able to do it has that actually been stopped uh some are saying uh as a
teacher no they cannot teachers have no right to take stuff apparently oh so
there you go I it's something that definitely happened when we were in school and it still happens yeah
definitely still happens totally a thing maybe that's a Canadian thing but
apparently they they cannot do it um they cannot do it NE and this is going
to vary from place to place anyway let's let's go to our straw pole results I'm
going to go with I'm going to go with yes um I'm going to agree with with most
people here if it belongs to them they're using it for something in
appropriate too bad and like that you're
just GNA have to have the conversation where what if they're not using it for
something inappropriate ah so if they do something else they don't eat their
dinner and you're like I'm going to take your phone if you don't eat your dinner yeah not not to call out my my parents
my parents are wonderful I love my parents but like if I did
something wrong or if I was a little a
little jerk for whatever reason no Nintendo yeah or they'd like take my my
speakers away I had this speaker system in my room or like you can't use your
you can't use your Nintendo you can't use your Xbox you can't game on the computer you can't do whatever it is you
can't do something you can't use this we are taking this like there is one point
in time where I had to Forfeit my radio or whatever my mom held it in her room
and took it it wasn't because I was using the radio it was because of something else so it wasn't because of
inappropriate use of the radio so it actually had nothing to do with the
radio so we've got someone bringing up that the I personally think that's okay
the ex-wife did it only because she doesn't like him and wants to make his life difficult we know that but we were
we're what we're just discussing is the is the not necessarily even the legality
but the the right like like what is your
what what what makes something theft
yeah so if you were to buy your game
console yourself is it theft if your
parents tell you if they take it well
what they could do is they could say you're not allowed to use it you may not
use our electricity to power
that but can they take it
away I don't know everything is gray
right now yeah it is we need John yeah
John John John should I just get John uh no it's okay I think we should probably
move on to the next topic yeah he's probably gone for the day anyway yeah um
someone said it's called parenting that's kind of my thing on it like my my parents Tak away my speaker cuz I was a
little jerkhole is like is super okay
fine and made him the stunning man that he pointed out to me that he is um today
no seriously though like it's I yeah if
you if you how like you can't hit them
anymore yeah you can't take their stuff away I don't know that spanking is
illegal oh yeah I'm pretty sure Corporal P punishment is actually still legal
it's just Society has decided that you can't do that and I personally don't
believe that's effective anyway um I
mean no cuz like my not bring it my parents again they'd break like a spoon
or a hairbrush or something on us my brother and I would just like laugh and be like we
win so like maybe not without getting too deep
into this I do actually think that there's a time
and a place I was spanked once one time
growing up and it was done at a very young age and I remember it to this day
now if it had happened all the time I think it's kind of like
swearing if someone who never swears
swears very impactful you go what yeah
they've made their point whatever just happened was really painful or really
upsetting or whatever the case may be but someone who swears all the time you
don't even notice it starts to just become part of the Casual flow of conversation so I got spanked for
pulling a wicked tantrum in Safeway
because I wasn't allowed to have a donut like I'm talking the actual like kicking
like like scooting myself around on my back yelling on the floor in the middle
of the grocery store T ter so my
dad dropped the groceries put them down in the store
physically picked me up took me to the car
and K flop yep gave me the old don't do
that and I remember that now to my
mom I believe she only spanked one of my
siblings once one of my other siblings once like like it it was not a thing in
my family hiden um but what happened was
she ran away down the street without
telling anyone where she was going when she was about you know four or something
like that and I think it was just one of
those I don't know what else to do
um do not do that and to her to this day
she still remembers the incident and never did that again so I don't know
this isn't parenting tips I don't I have no problem with my what my parents did
but then at the same time my brother and I both like played football and like
getting hit with something really wasn't that big of a deal and I have no problem
with what my parents did with that said I've never hit my kids I don't plan to
hit my kids I don't think it's the best way to I don't think it's the best way
to reinforce the correct behavior um
yeah I guess like I'm not judging I'm saying I don't disagree with what my
parents did it's not what I plan to do it's not how I train dogs I'm never
going to have kids but it's not how I train dogs yeah some people train dogs
that way and I I don't like that so
whatever I mean I don't know
man yeah I don't know the thing about pain is it's Nature's teacher that is
for sure pain tells you you touch a hot stove element don't do that anymore with
dogs I just but there's other ways to make them
realize there's other forms of pain to well dogs are dogs are a little bit
different because like with dogs there's there's a
dominance thing yeah so you can like you know like it would be very common like I
I had a dog when I was growing up and if he did something like really really way
out of line then you know like if he was running after and trying to kill one of
the chickens and I had to like catch him you know grab the Scruff of the neck
grab around the neck don't choke but grab grab the neck look in the eye right
in his face no little Bop on the nose it
doesn't hurt but it tells him who's boss I have no problem with that but you
never hurt a dog you can do like yeah
like emotional stuff like getting right in his face and saying no it's going to make an awkward situation he'll be like
oh wow what was I doing the similar thing with anyways yeah but there's
there's there's a lot of different ways to deal with this stuff and I don't think that pain is the right answer
necessarily although I will say that the one animal that I have ever resorted to
pain with is a cow they are actually too stupid to
live it was the only way that I could
move him like I'm talking I'm talking
like like like I and he was big right he's a cow okay like I would get behind
and I would push him as hard as I can I would I would pull I would have all my
way and pushing as hard as I could on the ground on a halter on his head and
it would just be
like go ahead and try with that cow I
would I would and I would even like I would even like push him with my foot on
his butt like try to get him to move cuz once I got him moving he would go to his
stall but he would refuse to move so it
got to the point where I would actually have to kind of take a run at it and and
and like push with my feet as hard as I could and then he would kind of go and
then he would move just the stupidest the stupidest creature that I've ever
encountered I find it kind of interesting and I wonder like some
psychologist has probably done some research on this and stuff but you
remember what you were doing where why
all that kind of stuff I just remember breaking the thing I don't remember what
I was doing I don't remember what I was being punished for I don't remember where it was I just remember the the
hairbrush breaking and being like yeah like I don't remember anything other
than that at all I don't remember what I was doing
where when why I don't know what age I was I don't even remember who was doing
it like I don't remember which one was banking I have no idea that's
hilarious not a clue all right well I think we've run
out of time we didn't manage to cover a lot of topics today but you guys don't
seem to care there's 7600 of you watching the show um number of armchair
lawyers in twitch chat right now so so painful oh John wanted us to bring him
on you know what I actually am not gone come get me I have a babysitter at home
